The History of the Faraday Society (Royal Society of Chemistry, £20,
ISBN 0 85404 863 4) is an invaluable source of information—sometimes
almost too much is offered. We learn, for example, that the production costs of
the Transactions rose between 1931 and 1932 by £12 12s 8d. Leslie Sutton
and Mansel Davies (both sadly deceased) offer a meticulous monument to the
electrochemistry organisation, from its germination in 1902 to its absorption
into the Chemical Society 70 years later. Librarians and serious scholars only,
we think.
